When I first went freelance, I felt completely lost about where to start. Even as an experienced journalist, the freelance game felt opaque and overwhelming. It took months of research and missed connections. I figured, there must be an easier way?
So, in early 2026, I launched a digital course; the one I wish I'd had. It includes:
-
A step-by-step breakdown of how I got my bylines and media work
-
A pack of pitches that were successful (and those that weren’t!)
-
My complete income breakdowns for 2024 & 2025
-
Money and time trackers I designed
-
A curated collection of the best resources I used
-
A starter checklist
-
Tidbits from top journalists who graciously helped me along the way.
